A senior lawyer was arguing to save 46 convicts from the death penalty (hanging).

His assistant came in and gave him a small paper.

The lawyer read it and kept it inside his pocket and continued his argument. During the lunch break, the judge asked him "What information did you find on the slip"?

The lawyer said, "My wife is dead."

The judge was shocked and said “Then what are you doing here? Why didn't you go to your home?

So you people remotely believe that @OfficialAPCNg Govt of @jidesanwoolu and @officialABAT wants or can get justice for Mohbad 🤷🏿‍♂️

Okotorigba and Okoto meow meow 😂😂

Let me give you guys the facts in case you haven’t been following or missed it 1. The @PoliceNG ignored his death and @BenHundeyin tacitly suggested he never made any complaint about his ordeal until his petition surfaced.

2. When Mohbad’s petition surfaced showing it was received by the Police, the Police claimed they invited he didn’t show up

Re: PEPC Judgment

Let’s start with what the Court got right. it must be pointed out that the court got it right because it was an impossible task for the Petitioners and INEC feasted on it

The Court was right that the burden of proof is on the Petitioners.

The standard is on the balance of probability and the Petitioners did not discharge that burden to the required standard.

Those who knew my position or have heard me say it at @Mindset_Post spaces can recall that I said with regards to substantiality test and if the

Yesterday, a colleague @AdenikeAwe1 brought the @NigBarAssoc President @YCMaikyauSAN’s interview on @channelstv specifically on his comments of the EU Observers Report.

Later in the day @Spotlight_Abby posted an excerpt of NBA President comments where he said his understanding of professionalism as it relates to not criticising the decision of the Supreme Court is because there are children in his village that calls themselves “Barrister” and “SAN” at different times, all thanks to him when he was a Barrister and later a SAN.

As I said in @Mindset_Post’ space a few hours ago, I’ve no problem with @officialABAT.

My biggest concern is the dictates of our Constitution and the court must uphold them

For those who aren’t conversant with the discourse so far, our Constitution provides that if you are a Nigerian citizen by birth, then go ahead to acquire another citizenship voluntarily, you are not eligible to be the President of Nigeria.

It is also in our constitution that if you have been fine bothering on dishonesty etc by a court any where in the world,

It was a very tough day for me yesterday because in a conference call with lawyers from other jurisdictions, one of them asked me if Senior Lawyers were really in court in Nigeria making legal arguments in support of @officialABAT to continue as President of Nigeria ? I said, that’s what’s happening.

Most of them couldn’t believe it

One said, he’d read a lot about the case how Tinubu forfeited money in the USA years ago, filed a fake degree to the electoral body, lie about dual nationality on the prescribed election form etc and wanted

“Let the law take its course” or “Go to court” are broad daylight Corrupt Conduct in Nigeria.

I know some will disagree but bear with me, let me explain.

What is “Corrupt Conduct”?

A thread >>>>> Corrupt conduct is to do something that constitutes, involves or is engaged in for the purpose of abusing your office either as a public official or a private citizen.

For the purposes of this thread, let’s focus on Public Official.

My Lovely Yoruba folks

I bring you greetings garnished with stern warning.

If you do not wake up to protect your economic capital for the sake of politics, in no distant time, you’ll regret your decision today. @officialABAT’s political involvement is destroying and will continue to destroy Lagos State.

Don’t take my words for it. Look at history, data and the evidence.

The reason why London still strives as one of the economic hubs of the

I just bumped into this very interesting story

In 1986, Hofmann and her then boyfriend Marco made a trip to Kenya. There, she met a Samburu warrior named Lketinga Leparmorijo and instantly found him irresistible.

She left Marco, went back to Switzerland, sold her possessions In 1987, she returned to Kenya, determined to find Lketinga, which she eventually did.

The couple moved in together, married, and had a daughter.

The Samburu are a pastoralist people related to the Maasai, and live in small villages in an arid area of central Kenya.

Let’s meet Alexis Casdgli.

He was captured in 1941 by the Germans. As a prisoner, he aroused the curiosity of the German soldiers thanks to the tapestries he made to pass the time, so much so that they asked him to make one for them. Casdagli took the opportunity to include a secret message in the tapestry using Morse code.

If you look at the dots and stripes that are on the edges. The message is direct “F**k Hitler’ in Morse code

Lives change. The resilient adapt, even thrive. But it takes conscientious effort and determination.

Meet Paul Ellis.

He’s a father of two who was left with paralysed legs after a fall in 1992.

A further break to his leg in 2008 resulted in a double amputation. In 2021, he crawled up the UK’s highest mountain (4,411 feet).

I can’t even be bothered most times to use train station stairs. I’ll do anything to use the Elevator.

Most of you can’t even walk a few distance

But Paul Ellis crawled up a mountain to raise money for charity.

Let’s start with the financial crisis France was facing.

France was actually a very wealthy and powerful nation in the late 18th century, but the French Crown (aka the Government) was in serious debt (sound familiar?).

France suffered a series of famines in 1788 and 1789 that resulted in bread riots across the nation (sound familiar?)

There was then the spread of the Enlightenment that bred ideas such as

Let’s explore the death of President James A. Garfield

On Sep. 19, 1881, James Abram Garfield, the 20th president of the United States, died.

His final weeks were an agonizing march towards oblivion that began on July 2, while preparing to leave Washington for a family vacation to the New Jersey seashore.

A man of great energy, eloquence and charm, Garfield was in a superlative mood that morning.

At the breakfast table, he horsed around with his two teenaged sons while singing a few patter songs written by the musical kings of his day,

As I’ve always pointed out on this street, we’re egalitarian and if elections are free and fair in most SE States, many parading themselves as Politicians from the SE won’t even win their wards

Late Chief Nzeribe was a Senator representing Orlu for a long time but everyone knew at that time he never for once, won in Oguta.

I recalled in one of the elections, he was up against Rev Egesionu, a freshly minted man of God from the US

Chief Nzeribe was so scared that Rev Egesionu would defeat him that he drove to the Rev’s house one early morning

Have you read about the Mau Mau Uprising?

Let’s examine some facts about the Uprising

A thread >>>

The Mau Mau fighters were mainly drawn from Kenya's major ethnic grouping, the Kikuyu. More than a million strong, by the start of the 1950s the Kikuyu had been increasingly economically marginalised as years of white settler expansion ate away at their land holdings.

Since 1945, nationalists like Jomo Kenyatta of the Kenya African Union (KAU) had been pressing

This morning, let’s X-ray what happened Boer Concentration Camps, by the British in South Africa

It’s British concentration camps and 43 in total, set up during the Second Anglo Boer War between 1899 to 1902. They house women and children that were rounded up from the farms. It started when Lord Kitchener introduced a scorched earth policy to burn farms and homesteads as well as all kill livestock in an attempt to bring a quick end to the Anglo Boer war

The Anglo Boer war was supposed to be a quick operation against the unorganised and untrained

Most lawyers would ordinarily think the quoted rule is one but sadly it isn’t.

It 2 separate requirements and the court approaches it in three different stages.

Let’s look at how the rules is applied.

1. An application for Judicial Review must be brought promptly

https://twitter.com/chymaker/status/1654910517062795265

1. Whatever happens, it must be brought within 3 months.

These are the two rules.

However the court adopts a very liberal approach by ensuring the application was brought promptly. If it was, the court goes on to consider the substantive claim.

A good time to give a brief history of the beginning of British Monarchy as King Charles III is crown King.

It’s more about Conquest, Power, Luck and above all Adaptation.

A thread >>> It all started in 1066, when as a descendant of Rollo and the Duke of Normandy, William the Conqueror, won the English crown through conquest.

This gave him the opening to change his epithet from ‘the Bastard’ to ‘the Conqueror’.

Let me breakdown Ikweremadu’s sentence and possible action.

Before the end of Next week, he will receive his Sentence Planning and Calculation.

This effectively will explain his sentence to him and possible early release date since he is a first time offender in the UK. The Planing section will tell him the courses he will do whilst in prison (victim awareness, etc) towards Rehabilitation, Retribution and Re-integration.

This document will be sent to him from the MOJ normally the Probation section

The document will also set out that,
